Prevent Tidal Marks
Tidal waves might be pretty to look at when you’re sat gazing at the ocean, but tidal marks sure aren’t pretty when they are on the walls in your home! Tidal marks are caused when damp rises and spreads up the walls in the home. If you notice marks that have reached up to a metre in height, this is a sign that the problem is progressing quickly. Bear in mind that tidal marks usually don’t reach past the one metre point, because gravity prevents it from doing so. Regardless, you should hire a professional to perform rising damp treatment, because tidal marks indicate internal plasterwork problems that may not be visible, but could get worse if not dealt with promptly.
Put a Stop to Mould Growth
It’s not uncommon for something called efflorescence to grow on the surface of walls within the home when there is a moisture problem. This white, fluffy substance is just as dangerous for health as mould, because the spores can settle on the lungs and cause a wide range of respiratory problems. Mould spreads at a rapid rate when warm water vapour comes into contact with cold air. Good ventilation, careful furniture positioning and drying clothes outside are some methods for prohibiting mould growth, combined with rising damp treatment, of course!
Preserve Decorations and Woodwork
After spending all of that time decorating the home, you wouldn’t want the decorations and woodwork to become damaged by damp, would you? Rising damp treatment is effective for reducing condensation and absorbing moisture that could otherwise contaminate various materials, costing you a lot of money on repairs. Code compliance is ensured with rising damp, so you can trust that the job is being completed in accordance with the standards set out by your state.
